PARKLEX 1000 is a prefinished exterior grade wood composite
panel. This HIGH QUALITY panel system has been treated with durable THERMO-HARDENED
resins and has a bakelite core. The panel is dimensionally stable and
is suitable for exterior applications. Minimum maintenance is required;
clean with water and non-abrasive cleaner. PARKLEX 1000 is highly resistant
to varying climatic conditions, including freeze/thaw, salt spray, dry
climate and UV ray exposure. It is non-toxic and resists mold, mildew,
fungus and is impervious to termite. Parklex Facade In 2003, improvements
to the Parklex Facade were put into production. The improvements increase
the age resistance and dimensional stability of the panel. An additional
layer of clear film, developed by the scientists at Parklex, greatly increase
the UV resistance and color stability of the face veneer. Additionally,
the surface gloss of the finish is retained, showing no sign of change
during artificial ageing testing. The improvements also add increased
protection against humidity absorption, increasing the dimensional stability
of the panel.
